Père Olive: the Belgian leader in fresh Mediterranean product
The story starts in 1988 with the founders Erik Maes and Christine Beckers who started a small olive business. The production at the time was 200 tubs /day.
The company takes a turn in 1991 with a collaboration with the Agricultural department of University of Gembloux which leads to a revolutionary concept of packaging with modified atmosphere.
